Looks like Eibach has a 5100 type shock on the market

Pollock21 · Dec 21, 2016

Anyone running these or know anything about them? They appear to be just like the 5100's. Can't find any reviews of these installed on a Ram so figured I'd ask here.

Also saw where Eibach is offering a $50 mail in rebate on a set of 4 of these which makes them tempting, but based on what I've seen on price, that puts them right around the same as a set of 4 billy's.

Tried and true is generally the best way to go, but Eibach is no slouch in the suspension world so I'm surprised reviews have been hard to find. Interested in hearing if anyone has any feedback on this level line.

Eibach is well know for their coil springs. Its nice to see them moving over to the shock absorbers. And I think I saw a lift kits for Jeeps too. Nice to know people have a quality back up for when the Bilstein's are backordered and out of stock nationwide.
I bet they're very similar, if not a little better than the Bilstein. I'd just like to think they might be are because they are new and the Bilstein shocks/level kit has been around for years. They should be able to improve or something. Right?!?
But.....the fact that its the same shock for V6 and V8 models makes me wonder. The V8 hemi is quite a bit heavier than the 6 right? And I also noticed that other vehicles listed call for the same part number for front and rear shocks. And that doesn't seem right to me. But then again, everyone probably does that.

Bilstein uses the same shock for V6 and V8 also..... Springs would be different to offset any extra weight not the shocks.

Ha! I totally forgot about having to swap stock springs!

Why doesn't Eibach just make a complete replacement? Like the Fox 2.0? And one that actually provides a level, unlike the Rancho quicklift

Tempted to give these a try when I'm due for tires.

Kyle, I came from a 2011 Tacoma. Ran Billy 5100's, then the first ishock mid travel kit, then to OME. OME was my favorite. Interested in hearing your opinions on the Eibachs vs other options.

I was actually a tester for these on a Tacoma. They are a nice part.

Do you have the red Tacoma shown getting the install?

Yes , I think we're interested in hearing your thoughts about the Eibach shocks.

This sounds good and all and you can get new springs and all for under $400. You won’t have to use your OEM springs

Chief_6.7 · Jul 7, 2018

I’ll be a guinea pig if 15-20 members pay pal me $20 each........ it’s worth a shot hahahahahaha.

Did you buy the entire kit?

What setting/lift are you going to have them set at?

MPRBLUZ · Jul 27, 2018

just bought the front adjustable struts. setting them on the third groove , supposed to be about 1.5 inch lift.

JB1 · Jul 27, 2018

Ok so you’ll reuse the stock coils ?
